"There is no truer statement than "CALL HOOD AND HE'LL COME A'RUNNIN!"

My husband and I first met Jim at an Open House of a home I had been viewing online. At that time, we were strongly considering listing our home and moving to a more desired area of town. At this particular open house, I immediately knew Jim was by far the agent we needed to work with on our home sale and purchase. He was consistently looking at ways to improve the viewing of this home (such as blowing off sidewalks, changing light bulbs, positioning furniture, etc.). We immediately set an appointment with Jim to visit our home and to list it right away.

Our experience of selling our home with Jim exceeded our expectations. We listed our home in early November and had a bound contract by early January (less than 2 months with 3 holidays included) for a price we anticipated. Jim negotiated all buyer's repair requests, as well as arranged and even oversaw the contractors. This was a huge relief when dealing with our personal hectic workloads.

In buying our new home, Jim found us our dream. Our new home has all the charm and features we were hoping to find. Jim was phenomenal in negotiating our bid and repairs. We anticipated paying $15k more than we did for this home.

Throughout the entire process, I can think of only one time I ever left Jim a message (and he returned the call in under five minutes). If we ever needed anything at all, Jim was literally right there within a half an hour. At one time, he even left a doctor's appointment to take care of us before his own needs.

Jim is by FAR the BEST!!!Less"

MOST RESPONSIVE AGENT EVER!

"We contacted Mr. Hood (Jim) from the sign in front of the home we sourced on-line and requested a showing. Jim took our call and was the most responsive agent we had every worked with ( for our sixth home purchase). His level of professionalism along with his expertise is what allowed us to secure our home. The home had multiple bids at the same time as our offer and he was able to navigate us through the process and we won the bid to secure the home. If you need an agent as a seller or a buyer, than you need an agent that has the expertise, professionalism and sense of urgency that Mr. Jim Hood does! He will get it done with the utmost integrity.

A TRUE PROFESSIONAL!

"It truly was a pleasure having you help us sell our home! You are a true professional and we would recommend you to anyone!"

- Dr. Mayte Figueroa & Juan Menendez

ALWAYS ONE STEP AHEAD! THE BEST!

"Jim Hood listed and sold our home. He was always one step ahead of us! Whenever I called him about something that needed to be done - he had already taken care of it! He always answers phone calls and/or texts - if not immediately, he will get back with you as soon as he can. He will always be honest with you about your home - its worth and what needs to be done. The way things worked out, we ended up using a different agent to purchase our next home. BIG DIFFERENCE. After working with someone besides Jim, I appreciated his professionalism even more! Jim is the BEST!"

BEST REALTOR WE HAVE EVER USED!

"Simply put, Jim Hood was the best Realtor we have ever used by a wide margin!"

- ZACH SEAL, GERMANTOWN, TN

COULD TEACH REALORS THE MEANING OF CUSTOMER SERVICE!

"I have bought and sold many homes,after spending 30 plus years in the military and government service. Jim Hood is by far the best realtor I have dealt with. His knowledge of the greater Memphis area, and specifically Germantown and Collierville, not only ensured we purchased a great house, he also was one of the calls I made early on in the process when I was preparing to move. I believe he could teach many realtors about the true meaning of customer service and most importantly service after the sale. Thank you Jim for everything.

JIM WAS FANTASTIC!

"He went above and beyond what would be expected of a typical real estate professional. The service we received would be closer to what you expect from family or a close friend. Tireless work ethic and extreme professionalism round out Jim's attributes. Highly recommended."

- THE AMECHES - GERMANTOWN, TN 38138

NEVER WAVERED & ALWAYS TOOK THE LEAD!

"We contacted Jim as he had sold three other homes on our street. We became his fourth! He was able to get us an offer in less than 2 weeks. It was a difficult transaction/negotiation in many ways and Jim never wavered and always took the lead. He was honest, transparent, helped us deal with the issues (both emotionally and logistically) and we were able to move ahead of our schedule to our new 'dream home'. Jim is trustworthy, hard-working and I would recommend him to my friends. Thanks Jim!!"

- Daryl & Caroline Newman - Germantown, TN

PERSONABLE, HELPFUL,PROFESSIONAL,& RESPECTFUL!

"When I hired Jim, he listened to my wishes and guided me professionally . I wasn't always at the home due to travel, and Jim checked on the home and my mail regularly, took care of any home issues in my absence, including the alarm system, lawn maintenance, etc. I always felt that my home would sell with Jim behind the scenes. and it did! Jim is personable, helpful professionally, and respectful. I moved several times in the past, and Jim by far provided the best experience of selling a home, removing a lot of the stress in such a transaction."

- N C JOHNSON - GERMANTOWN, TN

SEEMED LIKE I WAS HIS ONLY CLIENT!

AMAZING WORK ETHIC!

"Jim is hands down the BEST Realtor we have ever worked with! After trying to see our home for over a year we switched and asked Jim Hood to be our realtor. It was a small and inexpensive property and Jim really went above and beyond, he helped in everyway possible to get the home looking spiffy, had open houses and advised us in the best possible way. Our house sold in a good amount of time. I just wish I had known to call him sooner. Amazing work ethic, and stays in touch all the time on progress. Thank you Jim!!"

CHOOSE THE PERFECT REALTOR

"
Number 1: Call Jim Hood
Number 2: Leave the rest to him
Actually choosing the perfect realtor can be difficult. We went through the hoops of talking with the big names and big firms in Shelby County and none were a fit. Friends had sold their unique home in a down market through listing with Jim Hood and their total satisfaction convinced us to call him. Jim was always prompt. He came when he said he would. He returned phone calls and e-mails immediately. He always seemed glad to hear from us.
Jim was honest in every way. He did not inflate the asking price of our house in a difficult market, but neither did he insist on a lower price just for a faster sale. His research, patience,and good common sense prevailed. Jim held “Open Houses” only if it suited us. He covered every avenue available in marketing our home. He was timely in responding to lookers and in relating to us what other realtors and their clients said about our home. Jim made reasonable suggestions about what we should do to make our 18-year-old home more attractive. At the same time, he discouraged us from doing expensive and time consuming changes, (As it turned out, he was so right; what other realtors said we must do to sell had no bearing on the outcome of our sale, thereby saving us considerable money and trouble.) Jim checked on the property/house/plants, heat/AC, lights etc. if we were out of town. Jim called to let us know if another realtor was to show the house and returned feedback promptly. He maintains a good relationship with other realtors—very important. Jim was concerned about the presentation of our home at all times. We had sweetgum balls that littered the back entrance, and he frequently came by to blow them off, whether we were home or not. (His wife makes great brownies, too.) Jim helped us re-install a light fixture, move some furniture, put in a florescent bulb, and just whatever was overwhelming to two seniors. I can't begin to recall all he did to make life smooth for us. Jim was in San Diego when the contract negotiations on our home were really progressing. However, he did not miss a beat; his calm assurance gave us confidence that we were all right. Jim is high energy, tenacious as a bulldog, optimistic while being realistic, and has a contagious humor and attitude that is uplifting. Jim's closing attorney was an extension of the expertise and thoroughness we had come to appreciate
about Jim and his broker. Everything was first class. But above all that, Jim was pleasant and delightful to work with at all times. He always seemed happy to hear from us, even when it meant an interruption in his life. He treated us as if we were his only clients and the most important people in the world. In fact, he would chastise me for apologizing when I contacted him about something that I knew was trivial.
Jim Hood wanted to sell our house—not just because that's his business but because he wanted to serve and please us. As a result, we wanted to please Jim Hood. He became a friend, a relationship we cherish. And if you want to know anything more, call us. We enjoy talking about our experience.

HANDS DOWN! JIM HOOD IS THE PERSON TO HIRE!

"If you want a sales representative to cater to your needs and help sell or buy your home - HANDS DOWN - Jim Hood is the person to hire! I had the most difficult situation to overcome and it was done...and ended up with home that I thought was out of reach! Very professional - responds to every request to see a home at the last minute!"

- BONNIE AULD, GERMANTOWN, TN

NOT ONE SINGLE NEGATIVE THING TO SAY ABOUT HIM!

"If you are in the market to sell your home and want an agent who is friendly, knowledgeable, honest, and hard working then you should consider Jim Hood. From the day he put the remax sign in the yard to the day we closed on the sale I can't think of a single negative thing to say about him. He knew the market in our subdivision and was spot on in recommendation for selling price. Once we had an offer he skillfully maneuvered us through the negotiation process and was especially helpful in addressing repairs after the inspection report. in fact he personally made a few of the repairs himself. We put our trust in him and it paid off. Next time we need a real estate I'll call Jim (He'll come a'runnin!).

"

- DR TOM AND LINDA FOWLER, COLLIERVILLE, TN

"“After trying to sell our house with two other agents for more than a year without any success, Jim sold it in less than two weeks. He is very honest, kind, and trustworthy. He really knows what he is doing. Jim helped us a lot in preparing the house before putting it in the market as well as in doing the repairs requested by the buyers. If you are looking for someone that would be able to sell your house without any hassle, do not think twice. Just, call Jim Hood And... He’ll Come A’Runnin!”
"

- DR. ESFAHANI SEYED M & NARGES SALAMAT, GERMANTOWN

VERY RESPONSIVE & STRAIGHTFORWARD!

"A pleasant surprise in the world of dealing with realtors, especially considering he was representing the sellers and I was the buyer. Very professional and straight forward. Responsiveness was excellent."

- SCOTT HERRING - MUD ISLAND

JIM HOOD SPECIALIZES IN PEOPLE!

"Unlike some agents who specialize in price ranges, Jim Hood specializes in people. Jim is a one-of-a-kind professional, and he understands that building trust and caring are important tasks for someone into whose hands you are placing so much of your life decisions. Jim's knowledge and perspective coupled with his intense drive to know everything about the properties, the people, the finances, and all other details make him someone shoulders above other choices. I have bought and sold 11 houses within 4 states, and Jim Hood is NUMBER ONE in all aspects. He surrounds himself with other high-caliber professionals (legal, financial, interior and exterior repair/upgrade experts) essential to a smooth process. There is no task too large - or too small - for Jim Hood. If you call, write, or text Jim, and in the rare instance miss him, you will not hit the next traffic light before he returns a communication. As a long-term resident of the area, Jim is well-known for the many ways in which he supports and serves the community; for those new to the city Jim Hood is an invaluable resource. I love my new home, but if circumstances arose to sell and move, I would call Jim Hood in an instant...and be prepared to pack. He knows his stuff, is energetic, smart, and relational. Call Jim and be confident in your real estate transaction, selling or buying. He is the real thing."

- CAROLINE HOWARD, BARTLETT, TN

AGGRESSIVE, PROFESSIONAL, BUYER & LISTING AGENT!

"Jim Hood's efforts in selling our house in Oak Run @ 1827 Elmhurst and finding a down-sized replacement to purchase were absolutely superb! He was available at anytime to answer any questions, large or small, to the numerous questions that we had. He promoted our house in an aggressive but professional manner. I thought so much of his efforts that I recommended him to several friends even before we sold our house!" I strongly recommend Jim to anyone who wants to buy or sell a house!
"

- STEVE N WHITE, COLLIERVILLE, TN

BEST AGENT WE HAVE EVER HIRED!

"If you're looking for a home to sell or purchase, I highly recommend Jim Hood with RE/MAX. He's a professional with great knowledge of the current market conditions. He will treat you like you're his only client. He stays in contact and responds quickly with any questions you may have. He sold our home in approximately 10 days of putting the sign in our yard. He knows how to inform you of the things you need to do to sell your home, and he performs all the marketing steps necessary for attracting buyers. Over the years my wife and I have dealt with many agents. Some were good, some were not so good. Jim Hood is the best agent we have ever hired. So if you're buying, or selling, Jim Hood is your best choice."

"It has been a privilege and a pleasure to do business with Jim Hood. We had dreaded trying to sell our house in OAK RUN under the present conditions but you kept a positive attitude and along with a lot of hard work and attention to details, bingo, it happened.

Thank you for a smooth transaction in the sale of our house!"

RELIABLE, DEPENDABLE, PROFESSIONAL AS A LISTING & BUYER'S AGENT!

"As a Realtor, Jim processes a lot of great qualities. He is personable, reliable, dependable, and professional. All of which you want in a realtor when it comes to selling or buying a home. We used Jim Hood as our Realtor to help us sell our first home and purchase our second. We were new to the whole selling process but Jim laid it out very clearly for us and walked us through everything we needed to know.
With the economy being the way it is, my husband and I did not have high hopes of selling quickly but Jim Hood was able to help us get a great offer and sell our home within three months of putting it up for sell. Jim was also very flexible and helpful when it came to taking the time to search for our new home. Once we found one, we were able to close on both houses the same day and Jim helped to make that a very smooth and easy experience, which was a blessing.
We highly recommend Jim Hood to anyone who is entertaining the idea of selling and/or buying a home. He is an excellent Realtor with a great work ethic!

HARD WORKING LISTING AGENT!

"We watch Jim Hood sell 3 houses in our neighborhood in 2 years. We had a condo to sell-some in the complex had been on the market for 2 to 3 years. Jim sold ours in 3 months.

We will use him again.

Jim took down all of our wants/needs and immediately went to work sending us houses that matched what we wanted. He has great knowledge of the Germantown/Collierville area and the 4th house we looked at was the one we wound up purchasing. He worked extremely hard and was always willing to do whatever we asked. He also answered any questions we had immediately. He made us feel like we were his only clients. I highly recommend him.
